It's been a long haul

L.a. to la

We've always done it our way

That's just how we are

Rolling off that mountain

Headed out for glory

I guess you heard the story

Man, we felt so strong

I never thought we'd laugh this long.



We are all drifters

Singers and sisters

Brothers and lovers and mothers and confidantes

We were born alone

We're alone when we're gone

So while we're here

We might as well just sing along.



Keeping up the good fight

And we'll be alright

We always have each other

And that's all we need

And if you want to find us

We left a map behind us

Meeting in the circle

Swirling sky and stars

You never have to look too far.



'cause we are all drifters

Singers and sisters

Brothers and lovers and mothers and confidantes

We were born alone

We're alone when we're gone

So while we're here

We might as well just sing along.



You don't understand, no

You don't understand.



And if we're all wrong

We'll have to sing our own songs

To one another

Until we grow old

And that's the way we started

And even if we're parted

There'll always be a road sign

To lead us home

We never have to be alone.



'cause we are all drifters

Singers and sisters

Brothers and lovers and mothers and confidantes

We were born alone

We're alone when we're gone

So while we're here

We might as well just...



We are all drifters (we're all drifters)

Singers and sisters (singers and sisters)

Brothers and lovers and mothers and confidantes

We were born alone

We're alone when we're gone

So while we're here

We might as well just sing along.



And while you're here

You might as well just sing along.
